I am an international student, going to a school outside the US.
After doing one last check between my transcript and my UC application, I found a small discrepancy between the two.
Back in November, I filled out my UC self-reported coursework by referring to my home-country’s official report card, which shows that I have obtained an ‘A’ in Art and Music courses.
However, I just realized that when our school translates our home-country’s transcript to an English version for US Schools, our school translates a grade of ‘A’ in Art&Music to a grade of ‘Excellent’ because they have different requirements for an ‘A’ compared to other courses.
All of the Art and Music courses from 10th grade to 12th grade that I have marked as an ‘A’ is shown as a grade of ‘Excellent’ in the transcript that was sent to the university, and I am really worried that this discrepancy will cost my admission.
Would this be of a big deal? I’m planning to call the admissions office soon.
Btw, I’ve done some calculations and removing these courses have literally no effect on my UC GPA.
